Article Abstract
(+)-7-iso-Jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile) regulates developmental and stress responses in plants. Its perception involves the formation of a ternary complex with the F-box COI1 and a member of the JAZ family of co-repressors and leads to JAZ degradation. Coronatine (COR) is a bacterial phytotoxin that functionally mimics JA-Ile and interacts with the COI1-JAZ co-receptor with higher affinity than JA-Ile. On the basis of the co-receptor structure, we designed ligand derivatives that spatially impede the interaction of the co-receptor proteins and, therefore, should act as competitive antagonists. One derivative, coronatine-O-methyloxime (COR-MO), has strong activity in preventing the COI1-JAZ interaction, JAZ degradation and the effects of JA-Ile or COR on several JA-mediated responses in Arabidopsis thaliana. Moreover, it potentiates plant resistance, preventing the effect of bacterially produced COR during Pseudomonas syringae infections in different plant species. In addition to the utility of COR-MO for plant biology research, our results underscore its biotechnological potential for safer and sustainable agriculture.

Plants are attacked by various insect herbivores. Upon attack-triggered biosynthesis of the phytohormone jasmonates (JAs), the JA receptor CORONATINE INSENSITIVE 1 recruits the JA-ZIM domain (JAZ) repressors for ubiquitination, releases the MYC-MYB transcription factor (TF) complexes, and enhances glucosinolates (GSs) biosynthesis to promote defense against insects in Arabidopsis. However, the negative regulation of JA-regulated defense remains largely unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) gene family is important in regulating key traits in crops, but its characterization in eggplants was previously unreported.
- In this study, researchers identified 13 SmJAZ genes on 9 chromosomes, classified into 5 subgroups, and found their involvement in various plant responses to environmental stimuli.
- Additionally, overexpressing SmJAZ10 reduced chlorophyll content in seedlings and altered the expression of related genes, suggesting its potential role in enhancing eggplant quality through jasmonate signaling.
